though Tom was sometimes caustic, recently when he posted I noticed
a sort of spiritual aspect to his posts. Much like he was trying to get
to us as much information as he could. I didn't know he was ill but I did
notice this. Did anyone else?
For some reason I felt he was very ill for a long time. In one of his
e-mails he said something about "not going to be around for very long" or
something like that. I took that to mean he knew he was dying, not that he was
going to be leaving Ridecamp. It sort of explains some of his
testiness.
